Winter is still trying to cling to us a little longer. Not in an horrible snowy way, but today was cold, gray, and a bitter wind is blowing. Rain is lurking nearby.
Thank goodness for the bright flowers that are starting to pop up everywhere. This little cutie is in my garden. Tulips are blooming, and I saw a bright red rhodie while out with the dog.
All we need is for the sun to stick around longer for a day! Temperatures will allegedly hit 70 a week from today. I certainly hope so, we could use a little warmth.
I spent some time playing around with my new Daniel Smith tube watercolors. Michael has been encouraging me to delve into tubes for quite a while, and I finally did it! I ordered the Pablo Rubén’s Master Artist Set which has some lovely colors in it. I was not familiar with his work - he does amazing realistic scenes some of which almost look like photographs. Wow.
Here's a bit of what I ventured to do today...
Heck, I need to do swatch pages for all of my paints and other art supplies. That will be a good summer project.
I've got a few days of access left to all of the Sketchbook Revival videos. There's not way I'll get to them all, and that's okay! There's a couple that I've watched but haven't tried yet, and a couple of others that I'd like to revisit before they disappear on the 18th. This crummy weather weekend will be perfect for it.
Today I did the exercise from Using Your Inner Voice to Create a Powerful Visual Message to Yourself with Jessica Swift. Don't be fooled by the title of it and think that I've gone off the deep end of wooey motivational-think. This workshop was really about creating a fun lettered piece with markers. My internal voice only provided me with some misheard lyrics from a Fontaines D.C. song.
WASH YOUR CARDI.
